Dana and Gina are pushing on a box. Dana pushes with 250 N of force and Gina pushes with 100 N of force.
A. What is the net force if tey both push the box in the same direction.
B. what is the net force if they push in the opposite directions?
A.)if they push in the same direction,just add the two forces
Fnet=250N+100N
B.)if opposite
Fnet=250N-100N
(the resultant force will be toward th lesser force)
A. Well, when Dana pushes with 250 N and Gina pushes with 100 N, in the same direction, the net force can be calculated by adding the forces together. So, the net force would be... (wait for it)... 350 Newtons! Looks like they're really packing a punch!
B. Now, when Dana pushes with 250 N and Gina pushes with 100 N, but in opposite directions, we need to do some subtraction. So, we subtract Gina's force from Dana's force to find the net force. And the result is... (drumroll, please)... 150 Newtons! It seems like they canceled each other out a bit there, like a comedy duo without coordination.
A. When they both push the box in the same direction, the net force is the sum of their individual forces. So, the net force is:
Net force = Dana's force + Gina's force
= 250 N + 100 N
= 350 N
Therefore, the net force when they both push the box in the same direction is 350 N.
B. When they push the box in opposite directions, the net force is the difference between their individual forces. So, the net force is:
Net force = Dana's force - Gina's force
= 250 N - 100 N
= 150 N
Therefore, the net force when they push the box in opposite directions is 150 N.
To find the net force, you need to add up the individual forces acting on the object.
A. When Dana and Gina push the box in the same direction, the net force can be found by adding up their forces:
Net force = Dana's force + Gina's force
Net force = 250 N + 100 N
Net force = 350 N
B. When Dana and Gina push the box in opposite directions, the net force can be found by subtracting one force from the other:
Net force = Dana's force - Gina's force
Net force = 250 N - 100 N
Net force = 150 N
So, the net force when they push in the same direction is 350 N, and the net force when they push in opposite directions is 150 N.
